So i just read that General Hospital has over 60 seasons and the longest airing show ever is Guiding Light at 72 seasons.
So like are each season consistent with the last? Do they reference something that happened 10seasons ago? Do they use the same actor/actress for all seasons? Is soap operas just a dramatized version of real life?

And the way they edit the episodes together is such a string along. At any given time, there will be 4 or 5 dialog scenes between characters. You’ll have a few lines in one scene and then it will jump to another one, give you a couple of lines and then jump to a new scene. By the end of the 45 minutes, you’ve got “resolutions” to each one that are really set ups for the next episode.
It’s a strangely addictive way to tell a very thin story and stretch it for 4 decades.
